Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr. English Channel.

I'm Emily and I'm so happy to be here with you all today.

And I'm Paul.

We're so happy you're here with us today.

We really are.

And before we dive into today's super interesting topic, we have a quick favor to ask.

And don't forget to share this episode with your friends who are also learning English.

Sharing is caring.

Absolutely.

We love helping more and more people improve their English.

So, about today's topic, Paul, I was thinking about something we all do every single day.

Oh, I think I know where you're going with this, Emily.

Our daily routines.

Exactly.

But not just any daily routine.

We're going to talk about daily routines using a very special tense, the present perfect.

Ooh, the present perfect.

Some people might find it a little tricky, but we're going to make it super easy and fun today.

That's right.

We'll show you how useful it is when you talk about your daily life,

especially when you want to connect something you did in the past to now.

So, Emily, let's start with a simple question.

What have you already done today?

I'm curious.

Oh, great question, Paul.

Let's see.

I've already woken up, of course.

That's usually the first thing for most people.

Yes, unless you're a night owl.

And after you've woken up, what's next?

Well, I have already made my bed.

It's a small thing, but it makes my room feel tidy and ready for the day.

And I've already had my coffee.

That's a very important part of my morning routine.

Ah, coffee.

A true essential for many.

I've also had my coffee.

Actually, I've had two cups already.

Wow, two cups.

You're really energetic today, Paul.

Have you eaten breakfast yet?

That's a good question.

I've already eaten breakfast.

I had some toast and eggs.

What about you, Emily?

Have you had breakfast?

Yes, I have.

I've already had some fruit and yogurt.

I try to eat something healthy in the morning.

So you see, listeners, we're using have or has plus the past participle to talk about things we've completed.

It's like saying, this action is finished and it's relevant now.

Exactly.

And the good thing about the present perfect for daily routines is that you don't need to say when you did it.

You just say that you have done it.

That's a key point.

For example, I've already brushed my teeth.

I don't need to say, I brushed my teeth at 7 a.m if I just want to say that the action is done.

Right.

It's about the completion of the action, not the exact time.

So, Emily, have you checked your emails yet today?

I usually do that first thing.

Oh, yes, I have.

I've already checked my emails.

There were a few new messages, but nothing super urgent.

And I've also checked my social media.

A little bit of scrolling, you know?

I know that feeling.

I've also checked my social media, but I try not to spend too much time on it in the morning.

So what else have you completed this morning?

Have you taken a shower yet?

Yes, I have.

I've already taken a shower.

It helps me feel fresh and ready to start my day.

And I've already gotten dressed.

I'm wearing my favorite blue shirt today.

Nice.

I've also gotten dressed.

I'm wearing a comfortable sweater because it's a little chilly today.

So, we've talked about a lot of morning routine things.

What about things you haven't done yet, but you will do later?

We can use the present perfect with not for that too.

That's a great point, Paul.

For example, I haven't gone to the grocery store yet today.

I need to do that later.

My fridge is looking a bit empty.

I know that feeling.

I haven't done my laundry yet.

That's definitely on my to-do list for later.

And I haven't called my mom yet.

I usually talk to her in the afternoon.

Ah, calling mom is important.

I haven't exercised yet.

I usually go for a walk in the late afternoon.

So you see, listeners, I haven't done something yet means I haven't completed this action up to now,

but I might do it later.

100

Exactly.

101

It's super useful for talking about your plans and what's left on your list for the day.

102

So Emily, thinking about your daily routine, what's something you've always done in the morning, almost every day?

103

That's an interesting way to think about it.

104

I've always had coffee in the morning, even when I was a student.

105

It's a habit that has stayed with me for a very long time.

106

What about you, Paul?

107

I've always read the news in the morning.

108

Not a full newspaper, but I've always checked the main headlines online.

109

It helps me feel connected to what's happening in the world.

110

It's like it started in the past and it continues to be true now.

111

That's a great example of how the present perfect talks about something that started in the past and continues to the present.

112

So you've always read the news.

113

That's a nice, consistent habit.

114

Yes.

115

And another thing.

116

I've always tried to make my bed.

117

My mom always told me it was important and it just stuck with me.

118

What about things you've never done in your morning routine, Emily?

119

Oh, that's a fun one.

120

I've never had a cold shower in the morning.

121

I've heard some people do it for energy, but I prefer a warm shower.

122

And I've never skipped breakfast.

123

I get too hungry if I don't eat in the morning.

124

I'm with you on the warm shower, Emily.

125

I've also had a cold shower, and I've never gone for a run before coffee.

126

My brain just wouldn't be ready for it.

127

Those are great examples.

128

So, listeners, I've never done something means I haven't done this action at any point in my life up to now.

129

Right.

130

It's a strong way to say something has not happened.

131

So let's think about a typical workday.

132

What have you usually done by lunchtime?

133

By lunchtime, I've usually answered a lot of emails.

134

And I've usually had a few meetings.

135

Sometimes virtual meetings.

136

Sometimes in person.

137

And I've definitely already thought about what I'm going to eat for lunch.

138

That's a universal truth, Emily.

139

By lunchtime, I've usually finished my most important tasks for the morning, and I've usually gone for a short walk to get some fresh air.

140

It helps me clear my head.

141

That's a really good habit, Paul.

142

So we can use already with the present perfect to say something has been completed even earlier than expected,

143

or just to emphasize completion.

144

And we can use yet to ask if something has happened or to say it hasn't happened.

145

For example, have you finished your work yet?

146

Or no, I haven't finished my work yet.

147

Perfect.

148

So, let's try a little practice for our listeners.

149

Imagine you're at the end of your day.

150

What are some things you would say you have done or haven't done yet?

151

Okay, I can start.

152

By the end of the day, I've usually cooked dinner, and I've usually watched a little TV.

153

But I haven't gone to bed yet, of course.

154

Good examples, Paul.

155

By the end of the day, I've usually read a chapter of a book.

156

I love reading before bed.

157

And I've usually called my family to say goodnight.

158

But I haven't packed my bag for tomorrow yet.

159

I usually do that right before I go to sleep.

160

That's smart.

161

Packing the night before saves time in the morning.

162

So you see, listeners, the present perfect is very versatile.

163

You can use it for things that have just happened, things that started in the past and are still true now,

164

or things that have happened at some point in your life up to now.

165

It really is.

166

And it's so helpful for talking about your daily routine without always needing to say at 8 a.m or at 9 p.m.

167

It focuses on the action's completion and its connection to the present.

168

So, let's think about some common activities.

169

Emily, have you ever lost your keys?

170

I have many times.

171

Oh, yes, I have.

172

I've lost my keys so many times.

173

It's always a little moment of panic, isn't it?

174

And then you find them in the most obvious place.

175

Always.

176

So there, I've lost my keys means it happened at some point in the past, and it's relevant because it's a common experience.

177

or I've just found my keys means it happened very recently.

178

Exactly.

179

Or I haven't found my keys yet, which means I'm still looking for them.

180

This tense is really good for those situations.

181

It gives a natural flow to your conversation about everyday events.

182

It does, and it's super common in English, so mastering it really helps you sound more natural.

183

Let's talk about something else.

184

Have you ever forgotten to set your alarm clock?

185

Oh yes, I have.

186

And then I've overslept.

187

That's happened a few times, especially when I'm really tired, and then I've rushed to get ready.

188

Me too.

189

I've forgotten to set my alarm, and then I've woken up super late.

190

It's not a fun way to start the day, but thankfully, it hasn't happened recently.

191

Knock on wood.

192

So listeners, you can see how flexible this tense is.

193

It's not just for big, important events.

194

It's for all the small, everyday things, too.

195

It really is.

196

Think about things you've learned.

197

Emily, what's one new thing you've learned recently, even if it's small?

198

That's a nice question.

199

I've recently learned how to make a new kind of pasta sauce.

200

It's delicious, and it's been a great addition to my cooking routine.

201

What about you, Paul?

202

That sounds lovely.

203

I've recently learned a few new words in Spanish.

204

I'm trying to practice every day.

205

So, this action of learning started in the past, and it's still ongoing or relevant now.

206

Perfect.

207

So, when you talk about your daily adventures,

208

your daily routine, remember that the present perfect can help you express things clearly and naturally.

209

It's like a bridge between the past and the present.

210

A very useful bridge.

211

So, instead of saying, I ate breakfast this morning, you can say, I've already eaten breakfast,

212

to emphasize that it's done and you're ready for the next thing.

213

Or instead of saying, I didn't call my friend, you can say, I haven't called my friend yet, to show that you still plan to do it.

214

And it also sounds more polite sometimes, doesn't it?

215

I haven't had a chance to call my friend yet sounds better than I didn't call my friend.

216

Absolutely.

217

It adds a touch of politeness and also implies that you still intend to do the action.

218

So listeners, we really hope this episode has helped you understand the present perfect a little better,

219

especially how you can use it in your everyday conversations about your routine.

220

We encourage you to start using it today.

221

Think about your own morning, your own afternoon.

222

What have you already done?

223

What haven't you done yet?

224

Practice makes perfect, and the more you use it, the more natural it will feel.

225

So as we wrap up In today's episode, we have one more friendly reminder.

226

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
